# IN THE SPORT WORLD ## Column 1 ### COMPETITION KEEN RIFLE CLUB SHOOT **Derville Scores High—Five Tied for Second Place. Large Attendance.** Opening the seventh week of the Rocky Mountain Rifle club were early on the range at Bucker for the shoot yesterday. Scores were on the average of the preceding weeks, and the award is keeping members at a 100 score. The medal offered by the club for high score last week was the handsomest ever given by the club. Roy Derville scored high 47 points from a possible 50. Not fewer than five shots were tied for second place at 44, and as it is nec[essary?] to shoot off a tie, this match will come off this week. Scores: Staples, 43; Curzon, 40; Lindquist, 38; Hallett, 40; Nelson, 42; Parrish, 40; Cotter, 40; Bolan, 40; Schutterling, 39; Band, 41; Jaccar, 44; Nielsen, 41; Derville, 47; Mullins, 44; Downing, 44; Stacy, 44; Cotter, 44. ### BACHELORS WIN HOCKEY MATCH FROM BENEDICTS A turkey dinner at Oregon Springs was the culmination of the annual bachelors and benedicts hockey game yesterday at [Lake Arena?] rink. The bachelors' team, which was won by the enterprising [Lake Arena?] people, won four and tied one game throughout. Three scores were rolled up for the single men during the first period and two more were added to the second, while the married men failed to score by a single point. The lineup was as follows: Benedicts — Moore; Morabito; Kinville............Dowell [remainder of lineup illegible] E. Gerry ............Cover Point............Clarke Bobsella .............Center...............Laner E. Gerry ..............Left Wing.............Tower Sullivan ...............Right Wing.............Costello --- **ON THE SPEEDWAY.** LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 29—Fin-ishing a grueling 100 mile grind over the board speedway, the leading cars here yesterday East second place and third with a mile a minute-plus pace. Oral Balch was a finisher; scores yesterday indicated Vail was doing considerable. The real test came in the last ten miles. Due to the sad physical time of Jimmy Murphy, who was not announced today. --- **BOGMAN WINS.** ST. PAUL, Minn., Feb. 29—Taking first place in three of the four events today, [Bauret?] of Bogman easily won the Northwestern Indoor Amateur Athletic meet yesterday. [Bogman?], who won the [illegible] race here with a total of [illegible]. --- **ORTEGA—PETROVOSKY.** SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.—In a billing at the old arena last night flyweight matches have been matched to [meet?] here A. O. March [illegible]. Mare Island A. O. March 8 accordingly. Petrovosky won in [15?] rounds of a match. The other [illegible] lost the semi-windup. --- **TOWARD—RAYNES.** ST. PAUL, Minn. Feb. 29—Mike O'Brien, well known St. Paul wrestler, has been matched with Angle Ball of Chicago, to meet next February 17 in a [catch-as-catch-can?] match, it was announced today. --- ### BOTH TRAFFIC SIGNS HAVE BEEN LOCATED **Mystery Still Surrounds the Manner of Disappearance From Street Corners.** The mystery which has surrounded the disappearance of the traffic signs formerly located at the corners of Main street and Park avenue [illegible]. Man was solved yesterday with the discovery of the signs, one being found late in the afternoon in the rear of the Daily bank building, while the second is said to have been found elsewhere. In view of recent developments [it] is said that negotiations are under way for the removal of the signs from their present locations and they probably will be replaced by new corners for which they were originally placed. With the taking over of the garbage collection by the city of Anaconda, the sign which was formerly removed from the streets and although officers have been unable to keep corners in question during the full [?] period of the last few months, the signs were spirited away without their authority. The spot where it was that was eventually [illegible]. **SERIOUS CHARGE.** GREAT FALLS, Feb. 28—Charged with a felony charge against his adopted daughter, Mae [De Goller?], 17 years old, [illegible] rancher was arrested at his home in the Cascade Tools county on Thursday and was sentenced at the bar yesterday to not more than 14 years in the penitentiary. His conviction followed after a contested trial last summer. A conviction was brought about through the testimony of a woman who was brought to Shelby from the Florence institution, where she had been committed to be cared for. He is a rancher, 18 years of age, according to testimony. **TABLET UNVEILED.** NEW YORK, Feb. 28—Gen. John J. Pershing unveiled a tablet to the 27th Division of the New York army here tonight in memory of its members killed in the great war. ## Column 2 ### TOURNAMENT ONE OF MOST SUCCESSFUL HELD HERE **ALL MINING DISTRICT BASKET BALL TEAMS.** First— W. Smith, Dillon..............Forward.............Carroll, Central O. Johnson, Helena............Forward.............S. Smith, Philipsburg McAuliffe, Butte..............Center..............Bempart, Helena Hanvey, Central...............Guard...............Stafford, Butte Ryburn, Dillon................Guard...............O. Dahlberg, Butte Honorable mention: Carson, G. Dahlberg and Boyer, Butte; Half, Missoula; Keppler, Boulder; Boylan, Anaconda; Centers, Edinger, Dillon; Kemper, Central; Guards, Westfall, Dillon; Fleming and Kalin, Helena; Elzey, Missoula, and Peoples, Central. The general opinion around Butte yesterday was that the mining district basket ball tournament which was completed Saturday night, took rank as one of the most successful sporting events ever held in the city. It was the first time a basket ball tournament of any kind has been held here, but it is safe to say that local sport enthusiasts, to say nothing of fans, will be anxious for more of the same kind whenever it is offered them. Much praise was expressed for the manner the big meet was handled, and for the absence of long waits, bad sportsmanship and other disagreeable accompaniments which make an impression after the event is over. The lion's share of credit went to Coach M. J. Danaher of the Butte high school, who was director in chief of the games. His fairness and courtesy met every one of the visiting teams with satisfactory results in the treatment each had received at the various games throughout the tournament here. Manager Charles Kelly of the purple teams also deserves praise for his share in the arrangements. **Seats Help Out.** The installation of the new seating system in the gymnasium, thereby giving the greater part of the crowd an unobstructed view of every bit of the playing floor, also met universal approval. The seating question, even though one of the most interesting of problems to watch and probably the easiest of all for the uninitiated to understand, has been slow to attract attention in the gymnasium here because seating accommodations in local halls have been so haphazard or poorly arranged. **McAuliffe the Star.** A little tabulation of results shows that McAuliffe of Butte was the star of the Butte high team, topped the list in scoring among all the players. He was the standout of Helena, the nearest rival. McAuliffe shot 5 baskets from the field for a total of 10 tries from the free throw line, a 52 per cent average, accounting for 6 out of 10 floor shots and 5 out of 14 attempts at free throws for a percentage of 50. W. Smith of Dillon was a close second to McAuliffe, with 12 points against his 11 basketballs, getting 5 out of 8 from S. Smith, Helena forward, and Jinga [?] of Butte, also a forward was in third gear with 10 and 11 points, respectively. The tabulation of the regular free throw artists shows that Smith, for Dillon, [Philipsburg?], has the highest percentage of accuracy, making 5 out of 6 attempts for a percentage of 83. The honor of all-around excellence should go to Giulio, Boulder forward, who accomplished the feat 15 out of 20 tries for a percentage of 65. McAuliffe made 6 out of 10, and Johnson come next, with 50 per cent average, in 9 attempts for his 5 baskets. The complete tabulation of the players, giving points follows: Points Baskets Teams McAuliffe (Center, Butte) 11 5 3-14 Hanvey (Guard, Central) 10 3 2-14 Carroll (Forward, Central) 10 3 2-14 S.

Betty sat very quiet, watching the little black fellow as he played about the fireplace. First out from behind a lump of coal, two long, black legs shooting him into sight, then crouched, or three times that she peeped a tiny head, long black feelers and two sparkling eyes. She caught a glimpse of Betty, then, quick as a flash, out of sight again. "He thought I was a cat, and didn't want to see what he was doing," said Betty. "And back in his chair he would be worried out again." One more minute before Mr. Cricket was out again, and Betty had popped into sight. This time making directly toward Betty with a hurried Daddy Cricket crawled away out on the mantelpiece and looked about. "Well, guess this is my chance," he chirped. And a nice place, where he could see the whole room, and also see who was speaking. Daddy Cricket had a good notion to run and hide, but instead he turned a stiff little leg to Betty, bobbing it politely. "Isn't that funny. I didn't see you before?" he laughed in his squeaky [Column continues with the story] "Indeed I Wouldn't!" "Oh, yes, you are! I'm not afraid of you, because I know you won't hurt me." "Indeed I wouldn't!" replied Betty, patiently. "I am not afraid to understand the little fellow. "I was just watching you because you were so nice and comfortable, Daddy Cricket." "Now, now," laughed Daddy Cricket. "I never sing until after the household [Story continues, partially illegible] --- **HOROSCOPE** Monday, March 1, 1920. This is a most auspicious day for good to-day, according to stars as read by Professor Mallory. It is a most auspicious sign for literary ability and for a day showing great activity among writers. This day seems to promise a merging of old interests through management and editorial branches of periodicals and newspapers. It is a very most promising for mercantile negotiations, financial and domestic negotiations. Benevolent and idealistic influences may affect the planetary conditions, with the sun being affected by Jupiter and near the conjunction of Mars. Political phase is foreshadowed for the next few weeks and some good results are expected for daily transactions. In public forums though fraud or forgery are forebode and [there?] is some concern regarding wastfulness. It is classed as an unpromising day for those who are ill although things would better their state. Since the largest of the winter quarter took place in the seventh house, there is every reason to expect cold weather to become less and more satisfactory. Misers today threaten by the action of bad weather. Seismic disaster is threatened. Switzerland and the West Indies are strongly affected today. Pulmonary diseases will focus the attention of medical authorities in later months of this year. Children born in places of prominence today were assigned by the stars. Children born on this day are likely to quick action and in making good friends of the influential.

Brown of the Brown company has disposed of the controlling interest in the Hennessy company, which is operating the store formerly known as the Brown. Work was given to James J. Murphy, Edward Softley and Ernest Forbis. Mr. Murphy and Mr. Softley will take possession [Illustration: JAMES J. MURPHY.] of the store and the active management on March 1. Mr. Brown is retiring from the business to take charge of other interests. He formerly was president and general manager of Hennessy company for several years, having been a resident here practically all his life. He was connected with the Hennessy company for 22 years, starting with D. J. Hennessy when the Hennessy store was located at the present home of Joseph M. A. night more. He has been in charge --- **GEORGE IN CONTEMPT.** GEORGE turned to the attorney, as he informed the court at Monday evening session, that he was advised by his attorney to get out of the country and return no more. In the case of the matter, Ernest George failed to appear in court on Monday morning, which caused the judge to remark in the case which had been continued the previous day in which he had been charged with horse stealing court accordingly postponed it. The judge therefore sentenced him to serve 35 days in jail. George's attorney then postponed to court convened to hear the verdict but then waiting at the jail. George was not in the court. When the record was made that George was not in, a [illegible] constable was at the tonsils and drove across the line where he had had a previous incident with the defendant. When the record was set aside, George was recalled last Monday. --- **EDWARD—SOFTLEY.** *(Continued from Page 1.)* of the boys' department at Hennessy's for about 11 years, was superintendent of the boys' department, and was manager of the Hennessy branch store at Corvallis for about two years, and is well and favorably known in the business world. Mr. Softley has been display manager and for a time superintendent of the Hennessy store, his employment of 11 years. He probably is surprised to be here in the business of the windows dressing and displaying goods. Yesterday Murphy and his associates arrived in the city from the south and announced their intention of taking over the store and opened an establishment for women's attire in [Bozeman?]. Yesterday they received a large number of congratulations from their old associates on their branching out. **SKI RECORD.** DILLON, Col., Feb. 28—Anders [Haugen?] took a ski jump record yesterday at [Breckenridge?] with a 125 foot sail, jumping 21 feet.

The different roads will attempt to divide again the business which they were afraid they would have to give up entirely after that. The roads go back to private control under largely new negotiations. The railroads are to sign a plan not to the president of the commission, but as an offer to the directors early in this commission, both in power and person. **TO TRAINING GROUNDS.** BOSTON, Feb. 28—Members of the Boston National league baseball club, the Braves, are to report at Hot Springs for the first of March for the Braves' training ground following the [Moran?] regime as [president?]. Waller, [Maranville?], the star shortstop of the Braves last year, was picked up in a new car and was taken to report to the mid-continent or the states in the middle and Western fields. --- ### ADVANCE GUARDS ON GROUND EARLY IN THE MORNING *(Continued from Page 1.)* in the same structure, J. W. Jensen the [Hennessy?] and the Van Duser, will attempt to divide again the business, heading the company as president. **As Mosby.** Considerable excitement has been caused by the verdict of the oil commission, which we were expected to prove the existence of oil in the [Bitterroot?] valley areas. Both the devil's basin and Mosby red bottom areas, not contrary to this section, being about 50 miles closer to the oil and coal fields. However, the commission still found the oil important to be of a higher quality, generally higher than the Devil's basis material and considerably in a much richer oil. With oil structures easily compared to the Midland fields of Europe, these early and rapid clean up oil fields promise to show possibilities as the central part of the states in the mid-continent or Wyoming fields. ## Column 6 (Comics/Additional Content) ### THE GUMPS—WHERE ANDY'S $10,000 GETS A RIDE.
